Can Seroquel XR be used to treat OCD?

Well since I always go manic with SSRI when I try to treat my OCD, my only choice is to go for the antipsychotic route. So my question is, can Seroquel XR help with those nasty obsessive/intrusive thoughts?

Umm, It's worth a try. What type of OCD do you have? Like pure o or classic OCD? Because I don't go manic and I'm on two anti depressents. Also has your klonopin withdrawals went away.? How are you doing with that?

I don't know what type of OCD I have, all I know I have some obsessive/intrusive thoughts regarding some stuff. I try it with Luvox for about 3 days and couln't handle it, my mind raced like hell, couln't sleep. About Clonazepam... well, was all well to get from 0,2mg to nothing within a few weeks - but with my mind racing I had to take more to couple with that. Back to fucking zero I guess. I will not take Luvox anymore, just worse it all.

In my experience, Seroquel XR was very helpful for obsessive and intrusive thoughts. It's worth a shot, and Seroquel XR was very well tolerated for me. After the first week, I had no side effects. At first, I had some drowsiness at night after taking the pill (expected) and in the afternoons (not so expected), but it faded after the first few days. I recommend it as a very low-side effect profile medication with good results for both depression and anxiety (including OCD symptoms).

opinion -
if Luvox made your mind race and you could not sleep
and your doctor did not think that was significant and he told you to keep taking Luvox
you only took it for three days and your mind is racing? not good
